Ken Budd “The Voluntourist”

Some people travel to see the sights, some for self-enrichment, some for adventure.

And then there are those who travel to far-off places to volunteer their help. “Voluntourists,” they’re sometimes called. And Ken Budd is one of them.

The death of his father hit him hard, and made him reassess what he was doing with his life. That was the moment an opportunity serendipitously presented itself, and .. well, Ken Budd had found a new calling.

His new book is called “The Voluntourist.”
